Rob, I just had the same problem. I fixed it by doing the following things.
1) There was an update available for the Thesaurus extension. You can tell if there is an update available because there will be a green arrow pointing down near the top-right of the OO window. I downloaded and installed the updated extension. 2) I went to Tools -> Options and expanded the Language Settings -> Writing Aids entries on the left of the options window. On the right side of the window is a box labeled "Available Language modules". I clicked the Edit button next to that box. Under the entry for OpenOffice.org New Thesaurus, I unchecked the box and then re-checked it. When I closed out the windows, everything worked and the Thesaurus was available to use. Hope this helps -Aaron Rasmussen On Tue, Sep 23, 2014 at 2:43 PM, Rob Enslin <[email protected]> wrote: > Greetings. > I have OO 4.1.1, and the Thesaurus "button" is always > greyed out.
